-Buneary was just the cutest thing ever! I just wanted to reach into the tv and grab it and snuggle it.
-That...crush Buneary had on Pikachu was very...interesting to say the least. All though, the best crush on Pikachu was definetely Magnemite in season one. But this one does make a dent in my book.
-Dizzy Punch, Ice Beam, and Bounce...That's a pretty impressive pokemon to catch and I'm glad Dawn got it.
-Croagunk! Yes! We finally see the great Brock cliche!

Buneary has really been my favorite Sinnoh pokemon. It is so adorable, with its voice and its crush on Pikachu. I like watching any scenes she's in, and this episode is no exception.

It's interesting that both Ash and Dawn try to catch her, but she balks at fighting Pikachu (so adorable!). The part where Pikachu surrenders to Team Rocket voluntarily in the hopes of Buneary getting released was great too. I'm glad Dawn ended up with Buneary instead of Ash, it seemed more suited to her from the very beginning (not to mention that Dawn went after one or two other bunearies before this one).

Overall, a very enjoyable episode.

Ah, yes. Buneary's crush on Ash's Pikachu began with this episode, and even now, Lagomorphshipping may be a side detail of my new interest in Pok&#233;mon. Of course, that may just be me talking. I definitely couldn't resist gawking at the television screen when Buneary started to cry after Pikachu scolded it, but when Pikachu offered to give itself up to Team Rocket in exchange for Buneary, I was left amazed -- in a different way. It may be a good thing that Dawn ended up catching Buneary, and now, she has a Pok&#233;mon with an icily wonderful attack for her contests in Sinnoh.

Babylon 5, Codename: Kids Next Door, 24, and now, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I am many things at once, and many people might have different opinions about little, old me. If freedom is my main idea, then harmony, individuality, and modernization are the three attributes I now sense and track. Those three attributes and that idea combined to make the United States of America a great global superpower and Pearlshipping and Wishfulshipping great Pokémon couples, and now, they've combined to make those four shows truly great television programs to me. I will enjoy enthusiastically supporting the Equestrian ponies' adventures for peace, for humankind, for the future.

So for those who care about the Life and Times of S.Suikun, all is just peachy in his special little world. "Peachy", of course, being defined as not appley or peary or orangey.

I've been speaking of capture episodes feeling formulaic, and this episode certainly follows suit. However, a few interesting tidbits keep Mimirol's capture from being as dull as Naetle's. For one, the entire scene with Hikari's hair crisis is highly entertaining. In addition, Mimirol's whole infatuation with Pikachu is a fun quirk that - while not used too often afterwards in the series - at least spices things up for this particular episode. Of course, this is also the episode that spawned all the fun claims of Greggle being a pedophillic pervert, and like Masukippa exploding in DP005, it's fun to recall all the innocent pre-Piplup-*insert dictator* jokes.

Granted, the general plot of this episode is very tedious. Typical Team Rocket scheme and mechanism, typical capture attempts, typical capture and battle, etc. Even back then, I was not thrilled at the prospect of another appeal-happy Ice Beam user. In spite of being completely generic, though, the antics with Mimirol and Pikachu prevent this from being another capture clone, saving the episode from being Naetle 2.0. That said, I am still amazed and baffled at how nobody knows there are multiple Jennys and Joys before they set foot out of their hometown.

Dawn meets and catches Buneary, a Pokemon she was trying to capture for a long time. Well it could've been worse. I'm actually glad see caught this and not some Bug-type like May caught in AG. Although Kricketot is cute and would've been a nice choice haha. Aside from Buneary being captured by Dawn, there's not much else going on here. 4/10.

I'm glad to see Dawn finally caught a Buneary, since she failed to about twice before, although I don't know if the first one she tried to capture was the same one. I like how Croagunk unexpectedly saved the day by smashing the ice that Ash & Co. were trapped in, it's so quirky and funny. Overall it was a good episode.

Not a bad episode, Buneary was quite cute especially with it's crush on Pikachu and how it seems to be shy and hides her face in her fur, and like his owner Pikachu is clueless when it comes to girls having a crush on him lol.

Claims Amber Benson as Bishie
United we stand but separated we fall
As of April 18th, 2015, I met, hugged, took a selfie and a video with Amber Benson. This signature stands to the days where I wished for it, and that dream became reality.

Dawn catches Buneary in this episode and it comes set with powerful moves such as Dizzy Punch and Ice Beam, which are moves too powerful for your average wild pokemon to know unless it's going to get captured. It's cute how Buneary has a crush on Pikachu. Pokelove, awwwww.... And Croagunk waas funny in this episode.

Too bad Dawn's hardly ever gonna let Buneary out of it's pokeball. It is for this reason that she never gets a Lopunny.
